摘　　要：Corneal foreign body(CFB)is a common ophthalmic presentation to the Emergency Department(EDs).[1]Removal is facilitated by gentle mechanical displacement of the foreign body in the anesthetized cornea.Confidence in performing this procedure varies between trainees and physicians depending on training and exposure,though research has revealed that approximately 70%of emergency doctors lack confidence in dealing with ocular emergency presentations.[1,2]With reports that 84%of the Australian ophthalmology workforce reside in metropolitan areas,a difficult CFB removal can be isolating for a remote medical practitioner with limited ophthalmic support.[3]This letter aims to provide useful tips and tricks beyond clinical practice guidelines for emergency medicine trainees,rural practitioners,and physicians undertaking a CFB and rust ring removal with limited access to an ophthalmology service.
